Strategic Growth Recent high-profile projects with cultural institutions and mixed-use developments indicate Johnston Marklee is actively expanding its portfolio in museums, residential towers, and arts districts. This presents a sales opportunity to offer architectural and planning services for renovations, expansions, and new builds in similarly styled projects.

Public-Private partnerships Signings with Swiss Institute and Bass Museum signal engagement with cultural organizations and public-facing venues. Explore partnerships or RFPs for accessibility, sustainability upgrades, and adaptive reuse in museums, libraries, and educational campuses.

Sustainability Focus Overhauls emphasizing accessibility and sustainability for ground floor and basement spaces, along with desert-adapted design narratives, suggest a client preference for green, inclusive infrastructure. Approach prospects with get-to-green certifications, energy modeling, and resilient design services.

Collaborative Capability Partnerships with other firms (e.g., Lamar Johnson Collaborative) demonstrate a blended studio capability for large-scale projects. Position as a capable subcontractor or co-design partner for multi-firm bids and complex urban developments.

Regional Focus Active projects in Phoenix and Miami Beach areas point to a strong Southwest and coastal market focus. Leverage geographic proximity to pursue opportunities in emerging arts districts, hospitality, and residential towers within those regions and nearby markets.
